Madam Speaker, I rise in the House today in recognition of Veterans' Week.
Over the past nine years, our government has made the well-being of veterans and their families a top priority. We have invested over $11 billion to provide new and enhanced services for veterans. We have reduced wait times and improved quality. We have reduced veterans' homelessness in Canada. We have supported veterans facing mental health challenges and other service-related injuries and illnesses. We have ensured that the families and caregivers of veterans are taken care of. We have recognized the unique needs of the women and 2SLGBTQI+ veterans.
We know that there is much more to be done. By collaborating with veterans, other levels of government, not-for-profits and other stakeholders, we can ensure that veterans can live with the dignity and the respect that they have earned and that they deserve for their services through the dedication to our great country. Lest we forget.
We will remember them.
